Two of the three suspects jailed in connection with the breaking and entering of a residence in Cheboygan County’s Forest Township waived preliminary examinations Wednesday in Cheboygan County 89th District Court.

Casey Dodder, 30, and 27-year-old Bethany Lucier have been bound over to 53rd Circuit Court. Arraignment for Dodder will be Jan. 15 and for Lucier on Jan. 22.

A third suspect, 32-year-old Jacob Weiss, requested and was granted a seven-day adjournment to further consider a plea agreement offered by prosecutors.

Police allege that the trio stole jewelry from the residence on Dec. 16, 2012 in addition to various video game units and games.

When Michigan State Police Troopers interviewed the victim, a possible lead in the case developed as the victim knew the suspects and directed investigators to an area gold dealer who cooperated with police.
